Article Synopsis
- - The meta-analysis investigates the link between diabetes mellitus (DM) and the risk of developing spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with liver cirrhosis, involving 15 studies with over 76,000 participants.
- - Results indicate that patients with DM have a significantly higher risk of developing SBP, with hazard ratios showing a 26% and 70% increase in risk compared to non-diabetic patients.
- - The findings highlight DM as an independent risk factor for SBP, suggesting the need for tailored preventive strategies for cirrhotic patients who also have diabetes.
